The second book in the fantastic 'Grimwood' series. Fox cub siblings Ted and Nancy (who are inhabitants of Grimwood) discover a new and exciting land right next to Grimwood, which appears to offer the best food, drinks and entertainment you can possibly get. But is this new land all it seems? Find out in this hilarious adventure!
